[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 349689, member: 3907"] I LOVE this question! What a blast. My guess is that he just wanted to know. He wants to be prepared in the event that he ever meets a Frankenstein monster. Now he knows whether or not he should invite the monster home to dinner or for a sleep-over. I hope this doesn't sound flippant, because I don't mean it to. I think that, because it's harder for those on the spectrum to interpret the world overall, there's a need to rehearse things and develop contingency plans for all sorts of situations that just might crop up. To add to the confusion, there's less understanding of what's plausible vs. what's implausible. Little easy child asks me this sort of thing all the time: "Mummy, if I won a contest and the prize was a Toyota FJ Cruiser AND a driver's license AND they would change the laws for me so that I would be allowed to drive even though I'm only eight years old, would you let me park the FJ Cruiser in the garage, or would I have to leave it in the driveway?" Questions like this occur to me all the time, but over the years I've just learned to think them inside my head without saying them out loud. Trinity [/QUOTE]
